Ok… lemme explain. You’re like whaaaaaa? Ok. So this weekend is a big holiday weekend, summer, fun, outside festivities, and snow cone machines really are a fun and easy novelty to have. I love them because all it takes is ice and some syrup and you’re good to go. Easy. I gave a little teaser about this when I did my last segment on Oklahoma Live, talking about outdoor entertaining.
Snow cones provide kinda a fun element to a party, really even if there aren’t kids there… who says you can’t pour adult beverage syrups over the snow cone? {wink!} So here’s how it will double up for another purpose….
A fever reducer. Now… it’s not MAGIC. However, forget ice rags on your kids head, dripping wet down the pillows, or those freeze pads that they’ve come out with, but how about treating your sick one to a snow cone!
Most people when they’re sick, the last thing they wanna do is chug down a glass of 7-UP or ginger ale. Most just wanna SLEEP. Well, a snow cone SURE opens up the eyes of little ones! Tell your six year old that is running a fever of 102.6 that mommy will make them a snow cone, and BAM! They’ll say yes, and the shaved ice going down will cool their little bodies.
One of my FAVORITE mommy tips.
And with that comes some happy and fever-free kids.
